1. Submission of an ENTIRE ms that wasn't asked for.
2. Submission not adhered to the guidelines.
3. No SAE.
4. Requesting payment ASAP.
5. Paperclips.
6. Staples!
7. Begging/threatening/soppy letters.
8. Handwritten submissions (does happen).
I've (I admit to this now only because I was young and ignorant, and now I'm old and clever...ish) done numbers 1 and 2. Number one because I thought it'd save time for when they (obviously) requested my full ms. Number two because I just knew they'd fall in love with my sci-fi even though it was clearly a romance list I'd submitted to.
